HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

How the Plaincst Girl May Add to Hel
Attractions.
Studying the types Of women in an inland
town, We are chiefly impressed by theil
want of comeliness A closer analysis
showed this to be not SO much the result OF
actual ugliness in form and feature as from
apparently poor health The compilations
were sallow or muddy looking, and in many
cases there was an attempt to correct this
artificially; the cheeks were hollow, and the
figure angular and undevelOped The
strongest impression these damsels made
was that they were poorly nourished in body
and mind They were narrow-chestad and
narrow minded, unable to take o deer
breath of fresh air or fresh doctrine without
shivering Yet they were in the midst of O
go-ahead community with no paucity Of
food or ideas.
Ifthere is one desire universal among WON.
en-, it is the wish for beauty. We all feel il
alike no matter how philosophical we may
be- And this desirable quality depends sc
much upon health that no woman with any
wish for personal comeliness can afford tl
neglect hygienic considerations These i'll.
nourished young women We criticize are
sallOw because their food does not provide
them with healthy blood to give them q
rosy bloom, and they are angular because
they neither build up muscle with food Of
exercise. They have no idea Of walking fol

diet Of wholesome food, minus strong coffee
and unlimited candy; give them out dool
exercise and regular hours. and make them

minds alive. They might think such rule,
.poky," but they would result in an in.
crease of the personal comeliness we oil wish
for.
We can not hope for beauty without care
for both body and mind; both must be
kept in harmonious working, and the plain
est girl may add to her attractions by these
means.
Well enough to say that beauty is only
skin deep, but it has a powerful influence
on those around us, and it is only another
sort Of vanity which makes some women af.
feet to despise it Real beauty is simply
perfect harmony Of both mind and body,

q great deal of trouble, but it prevents any
petty jealousies on the subject Of dress The
time after dinner until seven o'clock, with
the exception of fifteen minutes for PRAYERS,
is entirely devoted to exercise. In summer
the scholars walk or play in the garden, and
in winter, with the exception of the very
small girls, who amuse themselves In tbeiI
own way in their class room, they dance in
what Is called the salon des eleres, or scholars
parlor. This dancing is compulsory, NO
other mode Of exercise being allowed in
doors, and although great fun to begin with,
toward the close of winter the formula be-
comes rather monotonous, and the time fol
playing in the garden at night as well as In
the day time is hailed with delight Seven
o'clock rings, and this is the signal for two
hours study before bedtime, one Of these
hours being usually devoted to the piano.
At eight the Protestant girls have theil
PRAYERS, and the small children go to bed

change of professor to mark the difference

1t is not the custom for French papas OF
mammas to put such trust in their dnugh-
ters and every letter not addressed TO them
must be left unsealed to be read by the prin-
cipal, through whose hands passes every
letter sent from the school. Should she find
fault with any Of these letters she reads they
are returned to the writer, to be either torn
up or corrected as she may direct When q
visitor is announced, the scholar before en-
tering the salon is obliged to put on pair OF
gloves, which she must always have at hand
for the purpose. This is a source of great
amusement, especially to the Americans,
the idea of gloves with plain black dress
and black apron being very funny. This
same rule is also observed by all those who
take dancing lessons, when slippers and
gloves are de rigneur. Sweets Of any kind

The Lord Chancellor, at the first glance Of

mounted from his carriage, threw his

his debts. invited him to his house, and
said: ''Here are ten pieces Of

THE WATERWORKS.

A correspond emit in to-dsy's issue Of
The GAZETTE urges the city TO retain
the ownership and control of the water
works. Having advocated the purchase
of the works by the city, THE GAZETTE
would regret to see the city relinquish
either control or ownership of the public
water supply. Despite the obstacles to
q perfect service which have been de-
veloped, THE GAzETTE has seen no res
sond to amend it's opinion, expressed
years ago, that 1t was good policy for
the city TO own and control the public
water supply. Whatever OF evil or short
coming there may be IN city
control the people have the power
to remove and correct as long IS they
retain control ana ownership, but against
evils or shortcomings of private control
or ownership the people would have no
redress save in the sweet will OF what
would be monopoly. Every argument
used in favor OF the purchase OF the
works is an argument in favor OF the re-
tention of that ownership and control,
and as the city grows and expands these
arguments are more and more reduced
from the theoretical to the practical. Ii
it will pay any man to buy or
lease the works, it will pay the
city to refuse either to sell or lease them,
and to contend otherwise is, practically,
to deny to the people of Fort Worth viz
tue and patriotism and intelligence
enough to elect faithful, competent and
honest public officials.
II the people of Fort Worth are wise,
they will never create water supply mo-
nopoly either through sale or lease. The
one thing for Fort Worth to do is relieve
the wsterworks management Of the incu-
bus that rests upon it and put in
charge those who have the ability and
experience. The whole trouble lies
in the people, and the voters OF Fort
Worth fastened on themselves the entire
responsibility for al the evils and short
comings of the works. But these can be
remedied without surrenderirg public con
troll. The reform can be begun at the
coming April election, and, this oppor-
tunity utilized, let waterworks man be
put in charge whether he lives now in
Fort Worth or elsewhere, and the
works will pay. Let the people
apply business judgment to the manage
ment of the works and not restrict them
selves within the Chinese wall of employ
ing only "home TALENT" and let them re-
fuse to fly from the Ills they have to those
they know not of, as they may exist in 6
private control Of the public water sup
